A true musical polymath, Jörg Widmann is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest living clarinettists, as well as an outstanding composer, arranger and conductor. His own compositions are approachable, engaging and imaginative, while his carefully curated concert programmes are known for their balance and artistic harmony.
Widmann often places his own works alongside those of composers ...
Donizetti's Don Pasquale, Opera House Budapest, 19 November
- 19 Nov 2025 6:30 PM
- classical
There are evenings when our Opera House cannot perform because rehearsals are ongoing on stage until the evening. There are audience members who can only afford to hear their favourite pieces with a discount. And there are works that, although very popular, cannot be staged every season due to the congestion of productions.
All these issues can be solved at once by the Hungarian State Opera’s ...
Giacomo Puccini, Schicchi 2.0, Opera House Budapest, 16 October
- 16 Oct 2025 2:00 PM
- classical
We can safely say that Gianni Schicchi is one of the most entertaining comic works of opera literature, which stands out even in the opera oeuvre of Giacomo Puccini with its wittiness.
Ingenious moments chase one another both in the vocal and orchestral parts, and also through the text and the incredibly funny situations.
Not many works dare to apply the black, nay morbid humour that ...

In the BMW season, there is room for thematic concerts that pay tribute to composers of the season.

St Matthew Passion, Opera House Budapest, 19 April
- 19 Apr 2025 7:00 PM

The Saint Matthew Passion is Bach's greatest work, one which constitutes an unsurpassable pinnacle not only of Protestant church music, but in the universal history of music.
Forgotten after Bach's death, the work was played in Berlin on 11 March 1829, a century after its original performance, with Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy conducting.
The composer and conductor adapted the work to ...

Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov's collaboration with the Hungarian State Opera has been going on for many years.
In August 2017, the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra performed at the world-famous couple's large-scale open-air gala evening at the Waldbühne in Berlin, which was broadcast live on television, in front of 20,000 spectators, and then in December of that year, they performed at the ...
Ballet in Three Acts: Manon, Opera House Budapest, 18 March
- 18 Mar 2025 6:00 PM
- classical
During his career, Sir Kenneth MacMillan managed to reinvent not just the language of ballet, but also its subject matter: on many occasions he reached for modern, socially and societally charged themes that no one had ever dared to touch in any genre, let alone in dance.
He was met with this criticism also after the 1974 premiere of Manon: even though it won enormous acclaim from audiences, ...

Song and aria recital in two parts, with Hungarian, English, and same-language subtitles
Tuscany-born Italian star tenor was destined to be an opera singer from the start. The parents of Vittorio Grigolo realised the extraordinary musicality in their son, who was barely ten when he began to sing in the Sistine Chapel Choir.
Soon, an experience to determine his whole life and career took ...
